The weekend felt like it would never come, but it's finally here. And with it, time to dig into some of the little repairs we've been neglecting in the face of much bigger hurdles, such as our filing system and that kitchen deep clean that was theoretically supposed to be over and done with three weeks ago.

Such is life, but our homes are already feeling fresh, alive, loved and lived-in — a big improvement, even if getting there feels like it has turned life as we know it upside down.
